Madonna in the 1980s

Madonna in the 1980s

If you need any introduction to Madonna, then may we be the first to welcome you to planet Earth. We hope you enjoy your stay. The Queen of Pop has reinvented herself dozens of times in order to stay on top of her game, but it all started for her in the New York club scene of the 1980s.

It may be hard to imagine now, but Madonna was once a niche performer whose music only appealed to club-goers. It took a remix of her first album from then-boyfriend John Benitez to achieve her first top ten hit with 'Holiday,' and it was all plain sailing from there. By the time the 80s were out she'd released 'Like a Virgin,' 'Like a Prayer,' 'Express Yourself' and 'Material Girl.' She'd also hit cinema screens in 'Who's That Girl' and 'Desperately Seeking Susan.' During the era, the only bigger entertainer in the world was Michael Jackson.

Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.

So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.

Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
